  • The Rise, Discontent, and Positive Interaction of Cross-Border Arbitration in Hong Kong with Mainland China
    42 U. OF PENNSYLVANIA EAST ASIA LAW REVIEW Vol. 9 15 Years of the Handover: The Rise, Discontent, and Positive Interaction of Cross-border Arbitration in Hong Kong with Mainland China Weixia Gu1 Since the sovereignty handover and establishment of the Hong Kong SAR in 1997, Hong Kong has faced the dual challenges of balancing her need to facilitate a cross-border arbitration regime which is compatible with Mainland China under the principle of “one country, two systems”, and promoting herself as an international arbitration center. The two goals are at times incompatible, as accommodating the localized needs and standards of Mainland China often requires Hong Kong courts to be more “flexible” than established international arbitration standards would allow. This Article attempts to give a comprehensive analysis of the above problems. First, this Article surveys all the cases of the enforcement of Mainland China arbitration awards in Hong Kong courts since the handover to present the actual interpretation of the standard of cross-border arbitration in Hong Kong with Mainland 1 LLB (East China University of Political Science and Law, Shanghai), MCL, SJD (University of Hong Kong), Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. Assistant Professor and Co-Director, Master of Common Law Programme, Deputy Director, Center for Chinese Law, Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong (Email: [email protected]). The idea and draft of the Article benefited from the presentation, discussions and comments by Professors Michael Palmer, Leon Trackman, Tom Ginsburg, Anselmo Reyes, Albert Chen, Douglas Arner, Zhang Xianchu, Fu Hualing, Dr. P Y Lo, and Mr. Chen Jianlin, as well as other participants at the HKU-UNSW International Economic Law- China Roundtable held at University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law (December 6-7, 2012), International Workshop on Access to Justice in China held at Shantou University School of Law (March 18-19, 2013), and Chicago University School of Law China Law Society Luncheon Talk (April 22, 2013).

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Applied Linguistics UNDERGRADUATE VS. GRADUATE ACADEMIC ENGLISH: A CORPUS-BASED ANALYSIS A Dissertation in Applied Linguistics by Tracy S. Davis 2012 Tracy S. Davis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2012 The dissertation of Tracy S. Davis was reviewed and approved* by the following: Xiaofei Lu Gil Wats Early Career Professor in Language and Linguistics Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Suresh Canagarajah Edwin Erle Sparks Professor in Applied Linguistics and English Xiaoye You Associate Professor of English and Asian Studies Robert Schrauf Professor of Applied Linguistics Karen Johnson Professor of Applied Linguistics Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT While English as an Academic Language (EAP) has been the focus of much research, the differences between academic English at the undergraduate level and that at the graduate level have largely been ignored. The present study serves to fill that gap in the literature by a) creating two corpora of academic English at the two levels of study and b) comparing the vocabulary, lexical bundles, and grammar related to parts of speech (POS) found in each by emulating a series of corpus studies done on academic English in other contexts. Undergraduate academic English was found to have a more diverse vocabulary, a vocabulary that did not support teaching the Academic Word List (AWL) at the undergraduate level, less diversity in lexical bundles, a greater reliance on lexical bundles with different functions than those used at the graduate level, significantly different use of semantic types of nouns and verbs, significantly different use of personal pronouns, and significantly different use of voice and tense between disciplines at the two levels.

  • Frontiers of Teaching and Learning Innovation in Engineering Education in China
    FRONTIERS OF TEACHING AND LEARNING INNOVATION IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION IN CHINA FRONTIERS OF TEACHING AND LEARNING INNOVATION IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION IN CHINA—A CASE OF TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY Shuangmiao Hana University of Oxford Zhou Zhong Tsinghua University Wei Li Tsinghua University Abstract: This investigation concerns the latest teaching and learning innovations in Chinese engineering higher education with special reference to Tsinghua University in Beijing, a leading university of China. Set in the context of rapid enrolment expansion in Chinese higher education since entering the 21st century, the study addresses how university engineering education innovated their contents and modes of teaching and learning to foster top-level talent, enhance relevance and responsiveness of education against rising number of students, scale of knowledge, and labour market demand, through content analysis of 163 award-winning programmes. The study also presents five case studies from Tsinghua University that have won recent regional and national awards under China’s Higher Education Teaching and Learning Award scheme in 2012-2013 and in 2014 respectively. The data for the present investigation comes from a rich set of first-hand data of those wining institutions’ award applications and collected from field visits by the present authors. The study further proposes a framework for designing and implementing engineering education programme. It is hoped that such a Chinese perspective could contribute to the global dialogue on teaching and learning in engineering education. Keywords: engineering education, China, teaching and learning, innovation Introduction The latest four-yearly Beijing Higher Education Teaching and Learning Awards of 2012-2013 presented over 160 out of 663 awards to engineering programmes in about 40 higher education institutions (HEIs).
